The enterprise is a complex system that is required to the core enterprise processes and the development of a use its processes to generate value in a given environment discipline that organises all knowledge that is needed to (concurrent, market, suppliers and humanity). We focus on identify the need for change in enterprises and to carry out three management disciplines: Product Lifecycle Management that change expediently and professionally. In this paper we (PLM), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Customer are interested in three core business processes, Product Relationship Management (CRM).

  • Mediating Customer Relationship Management on the Effect of Incremental Innovation on Product Life Cycle
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 09, SEPTEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 Mediating Customer Relationship Management On The Effect Of Incremental Innovation On Product Life Cycle Erna Setijani, Sumartono, Pudjo Sugito Abstract: This study aims to analyze the mediating customer relationship management on the effect of incremental innovation on product life cycle. The population of this study are batik entrepreneurs in Madura island, Indonesia. The sampling technique uses a proportional random sampling at three locations, namely: Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan and Sumenep Regency. The number of respondents is 200 batik entrepreneurs. This research was carried out by designing questionnaire and testing the validity dan reliability of research instrument. Furthermore, the questionnaire was broadcasted to the batik entrepreneurs who were randomly selected. The primary data was analyzed using structural equation model with the Partial Least Square (PLS) data processing program. The result of this study demonstrates that incremental innovation affects customer relationship management, incremental innovation affects product life cycle, customer relationship management affects product lifecycle and incremental innovation affect indirectly product life cycle through customer relationship management. It means that both incremental innovation and customer management relationship can extend product life cycle of Madures Batik.

Gardner, Professer Department of Business Administration The Product Life Cycle: It's Role In Marketing Strategy- Some Evolving Observations About The Product Life Cycle The Product Life Cycle is an attractive concept, but one which the common consensus is that it has some descriptive value, but rather limited or non-existent prescriptive value. This paper is based on the premise the Product Life Concept has the potential to become a central, if not, the central concept in marketing theory and practice. Prior to making suggestions on steps toward this ambitious goal, the concept is reviewed along with its major limitations. Based on a review of research evidence published since 1975, it is suggested that three areas need to be explored and expanded. The first is a careful reexamination of the foundation of the concept, then there needs to be a focus on the product life cycle as a dependent variable, and third, there is a need from application of meta-theory criteria to guide future research.

ISBN 978-88-95608-68-6; ISSN 2283-9216 DOI: 10.3303/CET1871083 Engineering Management and Cost Control of Petrochemical Projects Jingjing Song, Zhiwei Helian* School of Economics and Management, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China [email protected] With the increasing developing of petrochemical engineering construction market, China has accumulated rich experience in project engineering management and cost control, but has not yet established a complete cost control performance evaluation system, and the traditional project cost control method has been unable to meet the cost requirements under the new project management environment. For this, this paper studies the engineering management and cost control system theory of petrochemical projects, and builds one petrochemical project cost control system. The analysis results show that mature project management mode has been increasingly applied in petrochemical projects. The construction of the engineering cost control early warning system can achieve the objective of cost control. The related cost control performance evaluation system can greatly improve the actual engineering cost control level and realize the quantification and standardization of cost control performance evaluation. 1. Introduction Petrochemical projects involve various fields in the country such as import and export, labour, capital, and economic politics (Liu et al., 2018; Bovsunovskaya, 2016). In terms of project management, due to different climatic conditions, technical standards and backgrounds of different countries, the management of engineering projects is faced with great challenges (Willems and Vanhoucke, 2015).

  • Future Directions for Product Lifecycle Management (Plm) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (Mbse)
    FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (PLM) AND MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (MBSE) Sanford Friedenthal, SAF Consulting Sponsored by Aras Future Directions for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Future Directions for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) SANFORD FRIEDENTHAL, SAF CONSULTING 1. INTRODUCTION Industries such as automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and telecommunications, continue to face increasing system and product development challenges that require a strategic response. Organizations must innovate to advance technology at an accelerating rate in areas such as computing, networking, sensors, and materials, and insert these technologies into their product development. They must manage growing system complexity that results from increased system and software functionality and inter-connectedness. The need for new technologies and increases in system complexity are often in response to customer demands for smarter and more autonomous systems that require less human interaction and are more fault tolerant and secure. Organizations must provide this capability within the constraints of shortened development cycles and reduced costs, while relying on extended supply chains, all to meet increasing global competition. An organization’s capability to develop and evolve systems must address these challenges to stay competitive. The development process is complex in its own right and involves interaction and collaboration among many different engineering disciplines and other stakeholders across the lifecycle. The development process must also facilitate innovation, while at the same time, leverage previous design experience and knowledge that builds on existing products. Today’s multi-disciplinary engineering practices are often stove-piped and disconnected creating many inefficiencies, rework, and limit the opportunity for reuse.

This section provides an overview of the subject, and how companies should consider it as an important aspect relating to procurement and acquisition strategies. 5.5.1 ProductLifecycle Most people today are well aware of the product lifecycle, and how it is consistent with the biological lifecycle. This cycle can be illustrated via the classic “bathtub curve,” which shows that low, introductory sales are to a few innovating customers, while high, mature sales capture the market at large. Sitting alongside the product lifecycle, we can also envisage a comparative industrial lifecycle, showing how fledgling, high-growth, mature, and declining industries exist within and across economies. 5.5.2 The Strategic ProcurementLifecycle If we consider the key aspects relating to demand and supply, then we can see how buyers may adjust their positioning regarding sourcing and supply, depending on the lifecycle of the product or industry. Figure 5-3 below shows a working model of the strategic procurement lifecycle, relating to the relative maturity of the industry from which the product is being purchased.
